Famous Redheads



Redheads throughout history have often been portrayed as fiery and seductive; from Queen Elizabeth I to Cleopatra (who some argue was a redhead).



Hollywood has loved red hair from its early days. Think of Clara Bow the redheaded “It Girl”, Lucille Ball and Maureen O’Hara with their playful confident personalities and Rita Hayworth’s bombshell sexuality and you've got it.

Today’s dazzling redheads; Lindsay Lohan, Debra Messing, Susan Sarandon, Julia Roberts, Diane Lane and Nicole Kidman continue to light up the silver screen with their ravishing red hair.





If you're thinking about redefining your style there's not better way then with a new hair color. For years the hair fashion industry has been obsessed with blonds. Make no mistake, blond hair isn't going out of style but it's time for blonds to make way for the seductive redhead. Red hair isn't just a hair color it's an attitude.

If it were a formula for a sexy hair color I’d mix two parts red hair, one part personality, plus two parts sexual confidence. It’s said that Blonds have more fun, but Redheads are never forgotten. Bette Midler (singer-actress) may have said it best, "Gentlemen may prefer blonds, but it takes a real man to tame a redhead."



Red hair comes in many shades from cool to warm. Women with pale porcelain skin and green or blue eyes should go for natural gingers and neutral-tone coppers. Dark and olive skin tones should stick with the Burgundies and violet-based colors.

Brunettes should favor the darker shades of red to match their complexion and natural hair color. Medium brown and light blond can wear either dark or lighter shades of reds. Adding red highlights or lowlights with a foil weaving technique can achieve either a natural or dramatic look. This eye-catching dimensional effect is perfect for those that want to take center stage. If you chose to become a redhead you may want to lightening the brows to give it a natural look.




Red hair dye contains the smallest of hair color molecules as a result keeping red from washing out will take extra care. To preserve the color using a pigmented shampoo and conditioner between touch ups will help prevent premature fading.



There are dozens of ravishing red hues from strawberry and auburn to coppers so it can be difficult to know which shade is right for you. To determine what shade would suit you complexion and natural hair color best and which to avoid a visit to a professional hair colorist is well worth the time and expense. Before you make an appointment, clip a few pictures from magazines with colors you’re interested in trying and show them to the colorist….a picture is worth a thousand words!

Magic Flex Styling Brush



As long as people have had hair there has been a need to tame tangles and help arrange and style it. For these reasons hair brushes have been around for thousands of years, but changed dramatically in the mid 20th century with the introduction of space age plastic, flexible rubber, synthetic fibers and ionic ceramic composites. 

What started out as a very basic grooming implement has morphed into a highly specialized grooming and styling tool to complement the use of hand held blow dryers and modern styling effects.




The Magic Flex Hair Styling Brush is the latest example of the new hair brush technology at its best. The Magic Flex combines three of the most popular styling brushes in one: Paddle Brush, Round Brush, Shaping Brush with a built-in-styling comb.



The Magic Flex three-in-one Styling Brush is made of a durable heat resistant flexible material that's easy on the hair and scalp. Its unique multi-functional design makes it ideal for both men and women and all styling effects. Its adjustable handle allows it to fold "open and closed" and spring back to its original flat Paddle Brush shape like magic. 

If you use a blow dryer to style your hair as I do you'll love the versatility of the Magic Flex. The air flow net protects hair from direct heat and holds and drys hair in place. What's more, the Magic Flex Brush is the only brush with a built-in-styling comb and includes a unique   "retainer clip" designed to hold it "open" for use as a Round Brush  and "closed" when not in use, making it ideal for travel.




The multi-function Magic Flex Brush is designed for all hair types and lengths, both wet and dry and makes blow dry styling safe, quick and easy. Just look at all you can do with your Magic Flex hair brush:

One hair styling brush does it all !
Lift and shape for volume, remove tangles from wet and dry hair with ease, roll hair over or turn it under, straighten and relax unruly waves, scrunch to encourage curl and volume, crimp and wave, finish with its built-in-styling comb. This is why the Magic Flex is the
"world's most versatile hair brush" and a Hollywood hair styling beauty secret.
